Golf Course at Conero:
I have been told this is an amazing course - I do not play golf myself but have it on good authority from my husband & the guests who have accompanied him. It is an 18 hole 5,629 metre championship golf course, Par 71.
Course features extensive variety of holes ranging from a number of dog leg holes, island greens and annoyingly placed bunkers! Whether you are a beginner/intermediate golfer or a low handicap accomplished player you will find the course immensely enjoyable, as well as challenging but above all rewarding.
The golf course is located at Conero which is about a 45 minute drive from the villa. The staff speak good English, buggies are available as is private golf tuition.
Other facilities at the club include a bar, full restaurant, pro shop and large outdoor pool.
Beaches and other attractions:
All the locals spend their time on the beach at Civitanova which is only a 25 minute drive from the villa but also a must visit is to the beautiful town of San Benedetto with its 10 kilometres of sandy beaches it has been awarded the European Blue Flag many times. Take a walk/cycle/roller-blade along the wonderful promenade bordering the town - it is 5 kms long and is called the Riviera delle Palme where 7,000 palms of 20 varieties can be found - spend your time with the Italians here enjoying the first class fish restaurants, sipping wine and taking life at a very leisurely pace.
Again, another beautiful cosmopolitan town is the port of Porto Sant'Elpidio with 8 kms of beaches, exclusive villas and elegant Art-Nouveau residences. Visit Villa Baruchello with its garden featuring many ornamental fountains. It is a renowned botanical garden with fir-trees, cypresses, palm tress, black pines and cedars of Lebanon.
